THE sURRATT EXECUTION.
Mrs. Hancock handles the Mrs. Sur
raft matter in vigorous style. 1.-The at
tempt TO make General Hancock in any
way responsible for the trial and cxocu-
ton of Mrs. Surratt Is suufair charge
as any man has ever been called upon

il. SO obvious To all intelligent and fair
minded people did he consider it, injus-
ticc. The troops. 100000 men, were
under his entire control. including those
that guarded the prisoners All orders
came to him from the Secretary of War
and through him 20 General Hariranft,
who was the governor OF the military
prison and who had immediate charge
of the prisoners and gave the verbal
order for the execution.
General Hancock never understood
why he should bc held responsible for
that unhappy execution, as cruel n
spectacle rs ever stained the cscutchcon
of nation. President johnson was
wholly responsible for il. Not once.
but many times. did my husband urge
upon the President unanswerable
reasons for granting pardon. He
would reply that he could not, that the
execution was demanded by many
prominent men of his party. and a por
;ion of his Cabinet were ms uncom-
promising rs the other. The question
has many times been asked and re-
manned unanswered: Why did General
Hancock consider il necessary To be
present nj the execution? For the inn
portant reason that Miss Surratt had
gond TO the President at the last
moment by his advice 60 plead for
pardon for her mother, and IL was
hoped up to the last moment that re-
pricve would come. This fact neccs-
STATED his presence ut the arsenal TO
receive Il from his couricrs stationed mt
intervals along the route from the
White House 90 Ne arsenal, i'm order
that ii the President rclented and
granted a rcpricve not a moment would
be lost in reaching him. To the court
that tried Mrs. Surratt belongs the
odium. and the President. Secretary OF
War, and Judge Advocate General may
MI be criticised for the part they took
in carrying out the decree OF the COM
mission
''IIc was not without his faults. nor
was he incapable of enemitics. On the
contrary, with his peculiar tempera-
mont and frankncss thoroughly
characteristic, his intentions and mo-
tives were many times misunderstood.
When at fault himself he quickly made
amends. In concluding my recolec-
tons wish to say, if nothing more
could be claimed for my husband other
than his devotion TO duty and strong
principles of liberty, which nc had the
moral courage TO proclaim In face Of
political fanaticism--thosc constitute
a remembrance worthy OF this perfect
soldier. patriot, husband and father.

Outside the Garden Gate.

Two littlo forms outside the gate.
Who hour by hour in patience wait;
Four whistfnl eyes rs bright as stars
Peeping with wonder through the bars;
Four little hands that long To hold
Bright flowers, or apples red and gold;
Two shrill young voices that would say:
-Give Us some flowers or fruit to-day
Only-what little tongue could dare
Ask such boon from lady fair!
She comes. and down the velvet walk
Moves gently, and with silver talk
Beguiles the time; her comrades glide
In pleasant converse by her side.
They do not see the eager eyes
Who watch them with a glad surprise,
To rustic judgment. they mnst seem
Like white-robed angels in dream,
So fair, so graceful. and SO blest
In such sweet garden bowers TO rost,
And no doubt plucking many gem
Which seems SO far away from themi
Alas. how oft our mortal fate
Keeps US outside the garden gate.
Almost we feel we might be there,
Wandering amid those scenes SO fair;
Almost our fingers seem To clasp
Bright flowers. that still elude our grasp
Some adverse fortune seems TO say:
"'Tis not for thee; so, go thy way"

Origin of fashions.

One Of the prevalent impressions re-
garding the fashions is that they are
created and started by a syndicate Of
the great dressmakcrs Of Paris acting in
concert; but this impression Is an
erroneous one. There nre some five or
six leading dressmakers who strain
every inventive faculty that they possess
TO produce novelties. most OF them

remains without rival rs the great

the TRUTH OF A DREAM.

Miss Irene Merrimen, aged IS,
lives with her aunt, Mrs. Carrie
Berrian, the widow of Cornelius
Berrian, in a cottage in Lelan ave-
nue., New Rochelle. Mrs. Berrian
is sister of eX-Recorder James M.
Smith. On Thursday morning Miss
Merriman reported to the police at
New Rochelle that she had been
robbed of gold watch, $27 in cash,
and that the burglars had packed up
a seal plush sack, brown dress
trimmed with brocade, belonging to
her, her aunt's brown cloth dress
and shawl, all of which were left
on the floor. After she had re-
ported the robbery she stated to
Captain Conkling, the Chief of
Police, that she had dreamed during
the night where the watch was and
had gone out and found it in the
fork of an old apple tree. She said
she did not dream where the money
was and did not find it. Captain
Conkling did not take any stock in
the story and did not make any
effort to investigate the affair.
Yesterday reporter visited the
cottage. Miss Merriman said that
at ~ 80 A. NJ. she was disturbed by
rafting of a newspaper in her
room, but she fell asleep and dream
ed that the house was being robbed.
She remembered in her dream that
the robber was good-looking,
medium-sized, fair-haired boy with
o blonde mustache, splendid figure
and acted in the most gentle man
ner. She dreamed that he took n
long stick, poked under the bureau
where the money and watch were
kept, pushed them out and Rugged
them to his breast. Then she
dreamed that he went down stairs
and packed up the articles. She
then had another scene in her dream
where she saw the burglar hide the

aunt's room and said: "Aunt, the
house is being robbed; come down

she said she found everything as
she saw it in her dream. Then she
called up her nearest neighbor,
George Schirmer, by firing off a
